DFI ARS310-W880 Intel Core Ultra 200S LGA 1851 Micro-ATX Embedded Motherboard with W880 Chipset, Dual 10GbE and PCIe Gen5 x16

A vision system that inspects every part on a fast line can bring in several GigE or 10GigE camera streams at once, and it has to write images and results without dropping frames. The ARS310-W880 is the W880 build in the DFI ARS310 series of Micro-ATX industrial motherboards, and it adds ECC memory support and the option of two 10GbE ports to a socketed Intel Core Ultra 200S board with room for several add-in cards.

The LGA 1851 socket takes Arrow Lake-S processors from the 10-core Core Ultra 5 225T at 35 W to the 24-core Core Ultra 9 285 at 65 W, and the board supports processors up to 125 W TDP. Four DDR5 DIMMs in dual channel at up to 5600 MHz hold up to 256 GB with ECC support, enough for image buffers, models and virtual machines. Integrated Intel graphics drives VGA, two DP++ and HDMI 2.0a outputs for up to four displays.

Two 2.5GbE ports on Intel I226-LM and I226-V come as standard, and the board is available with two 10GbE ports on an Intel E610 controller. Two PCIe x16 Gen5 slots run as x16 or x8/x8 for a GPU or frame grabber, and two PCIe x4 Gen4 slots take further I/O. Storage is an M.2 NVMe slot at PCIe Gen5 x4, a second at Gen4 x4 or SATA and four SATA 3.0 ports with RAID 0/1/5/10. Eight rear USB 3.2 ports, six COM ports and 4-in/8-out DIO connect lighting, encoders and reject gates.

An ATX supply powers the ARS310-W880 through 24-pin and 8-pin connectors, and it operates from -5 to 65 °C with CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS and KC compliance. ARS310-Q870 is the same Micro-ATX board with two 2.5GbE ports and non-ECC memory, for test stations and control systems with lighter network traffic.
